Robert Olen Butler

Set in New Orleans, Robert Olen Butler's novel, A Small Hotel (Grove, $24.00), begins on the day the Hays are to finalize their divorce.  Instead, Kelly Hays checks into the same hotel in which she and her husband fell in love and makes a decision that will forever affect her and her family. "With mesmerizing detail, Butler excavates layers of memory and illuminates moments of both tenderness and alienation," says the New Yorker.  Butler has published 12 novels and six volumes of short fiction, including A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, which won the Pulitzer Prize.
